Swiss Timing, the company that makes Tissot Watchers has recently signed a new four-year contract rendering them the official sponsors of the Qatar Fencing Federation, the official governing board of Olympic fencing.This important signing appropriately took place with the start of the 2010 Qatar Fencing Grand Prix, where some of the world’s top fencers appear in action. Between the male and female leagues, there were some 250 fencers who played in the event.
The QFF sees the event this year as the test on their organization to see whether or not they can successfully win the bid for the 2013 World Fencing Championships, the most prestigious event in the fencing sport industry.
